"I love everything about my 12 piece set. I’ve never liked plastic utensils and I’m loving the freedom to use metal utensils without worrying about ruining the pans. The redesigned silicon handles are comfortable to grip and don’t have any hot spots. These pots and pans cook food beautifully and nothing seems to stick to them. Cleaning them is a breeze, too! I’m very happy with my purchase!"
"I ordered a 10-piece Sratch Defense set that I've used a half-dozen times. Everything has performed very well. *One of the large lids was dented along the rim edge in the undamaged box, so that would mean it was dented at the production center and shipped anyway! I guess CIRCULON doesn't care enough to send out their best products as new."
"I bought Circulon cookware in the 70s when I moved out on my own. I tried every new “best” cookware that came along only to return to my Circulon. Today in 2026 Circulon stands alone in my kitchen as the best cookware available."
"Love this line of pots and pans. These replaced ceramic ones I had that were not as nonstick as promised. So far I haven’t had to use any oil or cooking spray on these pans, and my food doesn’t stick."
"I bought my first Circulon in 2018 and this was my second. Couldn't be happier with the quality, longevity, and amount of things you can use it for! Easy to clean and take care of, easy to cook with, and overall best quality for the affordable price. Highly recommend and will continue to build my collection."
"Bought th 12 before, buy wanted a smaller one to make eggs. Price 200, but was sale price 170, nice. These have better non stick and the heavy bottoms which I like. Great set, bought the 3 at sauce pan awhile ago, great pan. Great product."
"These pans are awesome. I ordered these to supplement the larger set I bought. Unfortunately the packaging for these box free pans was not sufficient and the pans arrived bent. I reached out to customer service, sent a few pictures and not only did a new set arrive in a couple of days, but I could see they had fixed their packaging issue which had been evident in the pictures. Great company. Zero hassle dealing with them."
"I wasn’t sure a traditional one-handled Wok was the right choice. It was. Two handles works. The size is right. The non-stick is right."
"Love these pans. Nothing sticks. They are solid but not too heavy and perfectly balanced and comfortable. Lids fit perfectly. They heat quickly and evenly on my induction cook top. NO hotspots whatsoever. Well packaged for shipping."
"Cookware is great and cooks quickly and evenly. One lid was damaged upon receipt and customer service replaced it with ease."
